Pull the Trigger on 2-1/2" Autospring
Well I just purchased the 2-1/2" Autospring from Ebay. I was going to do the Daystar, but per many recommendations from the forum. I decided on the autospring. I plan to install myself either this Saturday or next. If anybody has any information or suggestions, please let me know. I've searched and found some posts about the install and having the right tools. I'm pretty sure I saw a post once about the torque specs, but can't find it now.
Plan to order 35" BFG M/Ts and have installed soon after the autospring.
Next question is a reprogrammer to fix the speedo/odo, etc. for the larger tires. The only programmer I have experience with is the hypertech programmer used on a Chevy. From what I read, the Xcal is the best for our trucks, will that also do the spedo/odo, etc?
I will post pics of install of autospring, tires, etc. And create a gallery soon!

With the Xcal you have to let the person making your programs know the size of your tires so he can put that in your custom program With a programmer like the Micro Tuner, you can adjust the tire size yourself when programming your truck.

There are several guys here that have run 35's on the level kit. The person I've talked to the most is Brook aka PickupGuy. He has a silver/gray FX4 that he had 35 BFG MTs with the Daystar.
